THE CHAMS REMEMBERED

Do the Chams share a common ancestry with the Malays for they look like Malays. Their original homes are in Kampochea and southeast Vietnam. I have met several Chams at Ho Chi Minh City and visited their mosque at the outskirt of the city.

The Chams had faced turbulent times since early history. Later they faced French rule, US hegemony during the Vietnam war, genocide during Pol Pot regime. The Chams are likely reduced in number, poverty stricken, much dispersed to escape the ravages of war and eke a living.

They serve their food plates arranged on dulangs like the Malays do in the kampongs not too long ago.

They may use cows or buffaloes to cultivate their padi fields. Their hats resemble terendak.

Sri Amar Diraja, pejuang asal Campa

Panglima pemberani dan murni hati

Meski anak buah tak seberapa

Demi tampak musuh menerjanglah kaki

Ia perajurit teladan besar nyali

Di mana-mana namanya bergema

Asal ada Bugis dan Belanda Nasrani

Tak tertahan amarahnya
